I own several different brands of semi-auto pistols, and I’m a big fan of Sig Sauer pistols. I bought my first Beretta 92FS because it was being sold at a sweet price. I honestly didn’t expect much from it. From the very first time that I took it to the range, I was completely amazed at its accuracy, how smooth it was to shoot, and its reliability has been absolutely flawless. I bought it in 1999, and it has never had a single feed problem nor has it had a failure to fire.
The beretta is also more expensive…
Good stuff, but zoom in more often especially when there’s tight groups happening
Please let me know the name of the ammo used on last target
There are plenty half MOA guns out there lol! Jeez ..most guns will shot half at a hundred including every single ruger american I own and thats with federal power shok and ppu blue box soft points in every caliber I have. This nonsense about MOA and match ammo is just that...nonsense plus all the movement in that sled . That's not consistent
finally, a gun channel that measures mechanical accuracy in a scientific and rigorous way. you should do this for as many common handguns as possible so customers can get actually objective, unbiased data. this channel should be far more popular.
Wish i could afford one of their rests.
Hello sir, can I get the design of the system that is holding the actuator? and which type of actuator have you used ?
This video is amazing for showing the deviations in different ammunition! I knew using good ammo or ammo your gun "likes" was important... but damn!! A full 12" spread on the Remington ammo to hitting the same hole over and over with Barnes. Thank you for this video. Is that the Remington 700 lr? Would love to know the specifics on that gun build.

So glad to see someone talk about how guns shoot some ammo better than others. I always try different ammo before carrying so it shoots where I want it to
OUTSTANDING Presentation! I've Been Following Ransom Rest since the 1980's. This Is The Space X of Firearms Accuracy Research. Great Job Done By All, Including The CEO of The Target Stapling Department.
Do you guys ever watch Paul Harrell's channel? ----- Federal's .22 ammo ALWAYS SUCKS ----- IMO IT's the WORST ammo out there -- the only one that has ever worked is the punch ammo.
Very helpful. Thanks so much
By far the best pistol I ever shot was a Sig P229. By best I mean I purchased the Pistol, Took it to straight to the range that was inside the gun shop and was using some Winchester White box and proceeded to group them so tight I thought I was being lucky. No adjustments, nothing. As a pistol should be from the factory.
Very impressive!
They did not have the right grip insert for the 2011, right?
We did not have the right grip insert for the Staccato at the time. Staccato does not add very much support to its product line, but we have the proper grip insert now.
Fiocchi...who'da thunk it?
My baseplate being delivered today, very excited. Going to get my wilson mechanically perfect zero soon. Have 12 different ammos to experiment with to see which one groups the best afterward.
👍 👍 👍 👍
What was the most accurate Glock ever on this channel so far?
Is this done at 100 yard
Very good job, but why do you never use Eley or RWS or Lapua, which are much more regular and accurate ?
While group size is important, so too is the location of the group in relation to the aiming point. Your testing seemed to be quite haphazard with respect to the latter: targets were all over the place, and no record was kept of where the ammunition grouped relative to point of aim.
Thank you for your comment. May note we keep a record of POI vs. POA. I don't think most of that info is relevant to you. Like all guns and ammo, you must do this test yourself. Each barrel is different; your weapon may not like the same ammo. POI will be different for you, as your rifling may start or stop in different spots, and your sight location is different. Therefore, your gun will absolutely test differently. This video shows why you need a Ransom Rest, how to use a Ransom Rest, and what you may reasonably expect out of your gun off-hand. We don't sell or specialize in videos. We are the original American Rifle and Pistol Rest company. We are the ones who invented and designed the tri-leg Rifle benchrest Rifle Master and the handgun testing machine. This video is to encourage you to get a Ransom Rest. The right and only way to test.
sounds like a damn battletank going off.
I’m looking forward to testing a variety of ammos in my wilson combat EDCX9 to see what it likes the best. I plan on identifying best range ammo and best defensive ammo for this gun. Ransom rest was recently refurbished and I ordered the base plate today. I also plan to zero the dot at 25 yards and it’s difficult to bench it and hold it at 25yd for a tight group without something like a ransom rest.
The second gun with the optic on it, you can see some movement in the dot as the trigger hits the wall…
Some semi-autos do this, and the M&P is also notorious for that. As the trigger pulls and the slide locks up, the dot moves slightly, right before the gun goes off. Most IDPA competitive shooters using an M&P or similar models that have clearance in the slide note this in their hands as well. These are not match-grade guns. Slide slop and lock-up have a lot to do with this. Drives us and many IDPA USPA competitors crazy.
In some of those tests you can clearly observe the red dot walking off the original point of aim between shots and as the trigger is being pulled. The reason it’s doing so is irrelevant. If you are testing mechanical accuracy, that is unacceptable. It doesn’t matter why it’s happening. If your goal is to replicate the mechanics of a human firing the gun, a human will (to the best of their ability) correct for a change in point of aim, unlike how you conducted this test. Reset the point of aim to the center of the target after each shot, and if the POA is observably shifting during the trigger pull, find a way to fix it and throw out any data where a shift is observed. The video and camera work itself is great, and the camera view of the sight picture is essential. I love this video and the spirit of your product and the work you’re doing. This is purely constructive criticism and should not be taken as malice.
Thank you for the comment. And attention to detail. However, there are two things you may need to realize in our test procedures. #1 You can discount the first group. Although we measure this group in the video, the gun must settle into the machine. We do discuss this in the video. We also have that info in our manual. POA will deviate as the gun settles period. The gun will move during the first group. The gun must be settled into the machine. We did this test quickly, so we only did one settling group. The second group is the actual test group. #2 The POA shift during the second group (as the trigger is pulled) depends on the slide slop and fitment of the slide. Manly, this shift happens when the trigger gets pulled. The slide does and will shift as the trigger is pressed on some of these polymer guns. This is absolutely so for guns like the M&P or the Sig. You will note the POA move as the trigger is pressed right before the gun goes off. This is common in most polymers and is indicated on machine tests. Sure, some people don't notice this in their hands as much as most USPSA or IDPA shooters note this in their hands and discuss this often. Some platforms are more acceptable to this movement than others depending on their slide tolerances and lockup, especially with polymer guns. A lot of semi-autos are notorious for this. This is standard information in the competitive world, especially for M&P-style guns. This is why you see that dot move slightly as the trigger is pressed. May be tricking your eyes thinking POA shift. Slide fitment and poly flex trigger poundage all play a part in that. I know from your comment you may realize almost all of that. But keep in mind That's also why most bullseye shooters still run metal frame guns. Not polymer guns. Only a repeatable platform and test reveal this. We initially have our roots in bullseye 50-yard tests. And unless you are a competitive shooter who can note it off-hand, many of them exist. There are also many conversations with competitive shooters about how the POA changes in their hands right before the gun goes off. Drives them crazy. Thanks for the comment and note. You may not know, but please remember that we have done this since the 60s and are known as the industry standard for testing machines. used by all major gun manufacturers and the Military. In fact, no gun goes into service for the Military or DOJ without a Ransom Rest test. This is just a fast snippet video and test. You may even check out Accuracy X videos on KZread with bullseye metal guns out to 50 and 100 yards in a Ransom Rest. That may help you understand what this does. Also, if you can hold any of these guns more accurately than we do here. Please please post a video of that. We would love to see it and watch it. We would give you a thumbs up, especially in real-world off-hand tests. For real-time shooting, please walk down the range and show us your group; please include what ammo you may be using. We love that info in real-time. I will leave you with this. The NRA magazine said that guns and ammo have gotten more accurate since Ransom invented the Rifle and handgun bench rests. NRA said they used to coin phrases like that man is a walking Ransom Rest. And as Whiley Clapp said, in guns and ammo, some say they can outshoot the Ransom, but I would love to see anyone outshoot a Ransom Rest. Once again, thank you so much for your comment, and I hope this helped you. Ransom Rest duplicates the human hand and is repeatable to the end user. We appreciate the feedback.
Interesting but too much banter
The amount of hate the 92fs gets over here is incredible. People asking why you even bought one, why didn't you get a CZ, people looking at you like you are crazy or "was probably really cheap huh?". I like Beretta, but I'm pretty much alone in this. Kinda sick of it already, might just trade it in just to be done with the bs.
You make good points, but the same is true for Sig. The amount of hate for Sig is huge, too. We like all guns here at Ransom Rest, including our love for the FS Beretta 92s. Thank you for your comment. Please stay tuned, my friend, and keep that 92FS.
What is the distance?
What's the distance? It looks like 25 yards.
It was
What was the exact distance?
This video just verifies my experience, m9 is more accurate than sig shit
I appreciate the video speed. Wish everyone did these kind of video at higher speed
Outstanding, thank you very much
Good content. Subscribed!
Theoretically if I had robotic arms, I would be able to achieve this.
its iver not iven dolts
Obviously. And I clearly said it right on video but seems they spelled it wrong when they uploaded video. To funny. Glad you caught it. Not sure if that was a spell check thing or a typo by team. But it happens. It is fixed.
@@Ransomrest yes it was said correctly in the video who ever proof reads dropped the ball to many people involved no control
I like a 2 inch rested group from a duty gun ,most alloy frame or steel frame duty guns can do that and some polymer.
Beretta killed the sig
I was wondering what happened to Kelly, and here he is. Looking solid.
Good shit good idea on the shooting rig
Great video and info ! Liked and subscribed Asking a favor , could you measure the cylinder to forcing cone gap and post it or on reply please , thanks ... p.s. mine is .008
Good question. That does make a difference. This one is .01
I really wish you had posted a chart with the ammo results.
Where would you like us to post this chart at the beginning or the end? And question #2: what info would you like in the chart? Best group or ammo we used?
@Ransomrest if not an editing nightmare, the end would suffice. Load, ranges, and group sizes would be helpful in choosing ammo for this particular firearm. Hopefully, the demand for them is so high that S&W will begin to produce them regularly.
@@TheGunnyBadger03xx Thank you for your comment and hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up. so the good news is if you watch the video, it already has a chart with Ammo specs, group size and ammo load data for the handloads we used. These charts are at the end of the video. Also, If you watch the video, we try hard to mention what ammo for each group before we shoot it, and we tried to also call out ammo when we measured the group. Hope that helps. please like and follow us for more.
@@Ransomrest Embarrassingly enough, it appears I stopped the video a few seconds before you ended it and I now see the charts. I did watch the video and did remember seeing and hearing the info. Thank you for bringing the chart to my attention. Thumbs up for sure!
@@TheGunnyBadger03xx No problem, easy to miss and in perspective. I suppose we could have made it more visible or evident. We will continue to post chart data and do our best to improve the info given; we appreciate your input and value your comments. Please keep commenting. We appreciate it. And this improves our videos.
Especially enjoyed the Atlanta arms ammo portion. Thank you.
Good stuff, Brother! 🍀👊😎🇺🇸
This is the second video I have seen where the Buckmark has failures..😟
Begging for a MR73 Ransom test please.
Noted. Let's see what we can do. 👍
